IMPROVEMENT IN SEWING-MACHINE STITCHES.

Specilcation forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,837, dated September 5, 1865.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN J. SIBLEY, ofthe city, county, and State ot' New York, haveinvented a new and mproved Stitch for Embroidery and Sewing; and I hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and eXactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making apart of this specitcation, and the. letters of reference marked thereon, in which the same letter represents the same thing in each figure.

The figure represents the stitch, A being the material, B the upperthread, C the lower and D the lling thread, withoutanyof thethreads being drawn up, so as to show the manner in which it is made.

The principal object of the stitch is to throw a greater quantity of thread or cord upon that side of the goods on which the embroidery is to show. This is accomplished by passing a thread or cord through the loops made by the piercing-needle of a double-loop or Grover 86 Baker stitch sewing-machine. Itmay be made by any machinery that will throw a threaded shuttle through such loops.

Letters Patent were granted me on the 29th day of March, 1864, for an attachment to a Wheeler 85 Wilson sewing-machine to make the double-loop stitch. That patent contemplated making such stitch without using the bobbin or the supporting-ring.

The stitch herein claimed can be iliade with great facility by that attachment by threading the bobbin with a llingthread.

Very prominent embroidery with a variety ofcolors maybe obtained by using two threads in the piercing-needle, lower thread-carrier, and bobbin, or any of them.

Secure Sewing is also obtained by this stitch, as the third or tilling thread so secures the whole that it is impossible to unravel it.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

rIhe stitch described, and shown in the drawing.
